    Tony Rice incorporates extended chords into his lead guitar work, not just rhythm playing, making solos sound fuller. The article recommends including chord substitutions in lead lines and provides a playalong example using lead licks and chord substitutions to illustrate. While switching from single note lines to chords is challenging, the payoff of richer solos is worthwhile for incorporating this bluegrass staple technique.

    Not Just for Rhythm: Chords in Lead Lines

    By Ben Helson

    Not only will Tony Rice use chord substitutions in his rhythm guitar technique, but also in his lead guitar work. If you
    incorporate extended chords into your lead lines you'll find your solos pop a lot more than if you used single note lead lines. It's
    become a bluegrass staple.

    Notice in our playalong example we use all the lead licks as well as the chord substitution idea. Hearing these chords in
    context is essential to understanding this concept. Switching from single note lines to chords can be tough, but the reward is
    well worth the effort.
